Because of the noise and rowdyness of the Negro worship no one desires to live near their churches and real estate men refuse to sell them property where intelligent people desire to live. Very often bishops, white and black, daind men to the ministry who cannot stand a fifth grade examination in a well regulated grammar school. The educated man or woman, as well as the professional men and women cannot be edified in nine out of ten churches they may enter. Around the Negro ministry is built up a most ignorant officiary which dominates the church with methods of one hundred years ago that should be in the discard. The church, instead of being a place where piety, reverence and Godly fear abound, is the stamping ground of wild, braying idiots. The services in most churches are not for the intelligent but for the ignorant and loud-mouthed worshipper who mistakes noise for grace. Under such teaching the religious life of the colored people is very wanting. The condition described exists because laymen and women tolerate it, very often speaking of the clergy as a shame to the progress of the race. An intelligent pew would, do away with the very awful condition now existing among us. The wholesale "Doctoring" of every empty headed religious crook is nauseating. To be called "Doctor" is dishonor when one thinks of the literary cattle that have FRESH OH!

Byrd number is too small. We have worshipped in large churches of color, churches among the most populous denominations, that have its great pleasure to hear and be coiled but not three blocks away the noise of another church destroyed the spirituality of the occasion. We have spoken strong and perhaps many will resent it but we feel that we are right and don't care. The Negra ministry must be more representative in every way or the race is doomed. Men who aspire to the bishopric must be intellectually and morally the leaders of their churches or they should not be elected. Any man who is not educated now should not be called to any church as its pastor. Those who are preaching a quasi gospel of their own should be specially retired. The colored worshippers should be taught that God hates noise and cant. Indecent jumping and falling over benches should be relegated to Africa and that into its darkest portions. We have no particular denomination in mind but the bigger the Negro denomination the more of this undesirable folly it has in it. The one great need of the colored ministry is "dignified intelligence and piety." The colored ministry cannot lead an educated professional class in other walks of life unless it becomes the leader in education. Negro churches everywhere, prune your clergy. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.

RENEW WAR RISKS U. S. Treasury Rulings Permit Reinstatement of Lapsed Insurance—Attention, EK-Service Men! Washington, D. C. National Treasury rulings liberalizing preceding regulations under which lapsed or cancelled war risk term insurance may be reinstated or converted were announced July 1, by Director Forbes of the bureau of war risk insurance with the approval of Secretary Melton. The feature of most importance to former service men is the provision that term insurance that has lapsed or has been cancelled may, regardless of how long the applicant has been discharged, be re-issued or reinstated and converted to government life insurance at any time prior to Jan. 1, 1922. The new regulations supersede the previous ruling that limited the time for reinstatement to "July 1, 1921." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Domingo! THAT "WITHDRAWAL"! What It Really Means to the Little Mulatto Republic. Editor Oswald Garrison Villard's Explanation —Haiti's and Santo Domingo's Suffering Certainly Great! The United States, the State Department announces, is withdrawing from Santo Domingo, and the daily press, especially the Republican press, is moralizing on the high virtue of the Republican Administration in thus undoing the grievous wrong perpetrated by Woodrow Wilson's party. (Nothing is said about getting out of Haiti.) Under the terms of the proposed withdrawal a joint commission will superintend the evacuation, the Americans to be selected by our Navy Department, and the Dominicans to be appointed by the Military Governor. Was ever a joint commission from two countries appointed entirely by authority of only one of them? The second condition requires validation of the $2,500,000 loan negotiated by the "United States Military Government of Santo Domingo" in behalf of the Dominican Republic, the terms of which have just been made public. It is virtually guaranteed by the United States and nets interest varying with the different maturities from 18.91 per cent to 9.7 per cent. A nice financial plum, for which the Dominicans pay! Against this loan are pledged the total custom receipts of Santo Domingo, to be administered by a general receiver of customs, an American appointed by the United States and responsible solely to it. And as if this were not mortgaging the Republic of Santo Domingo sufficiently it is also provided that his powers may be extended "to the collection and disbursement of such portion of the internal revenue of the Republic as may prove necessary should the customs revenue at any time be insufficient." Finally, there is the clause which obligates the Dominican Republic, "in order to preserve peace, to afford ade- Armenian-tastic audience was in attendance, Thursday night, at the Community Center in response to a call issued by the former owner of The Dresswell Clothing Co., 1701 Central Ave., for the purpose of arranging interest in the Corporation, recently oriented, whose stock is to be sold to our people only.

You or until such time as the Haitians are composed in order to such service the desired organization will be effected with American officers. "Those expenses "will be paid by the Dominican Republic." Of course, if this clause were really carried out in good faith there might be no serious objection to it. But American good faith has depreciated in the Caribbean to about the level of the Russian ruble. Moreover, an exact precedent as to the value of this particular arrangement exists. Precisely the same plan was forced on the Haitians, but to this day former privates of the United States Marine Corps are officers in the Haitian Gendarmerie, while educated Haitians, graduates of the famous French military academy in St. Cyr, have not yet, after six years, been found "competent." What a farce it all is! Why isn't this great country of ours big enough and honorable enough to say to this tiny republic: "We have wrought you greatly. In our name unapparentlome things have been done. We one you profound apology, complete rejection of your sovereignty, and all humanly possible amends." How simple it would be! What would it not do to re-establish the good name of the United States throughout the world, and to give our citizens an ideal of deeds—not empty words and oratorical homesth—to cling to, to work for, to stand by! In terms of materialistic self-interest it will be worth millions of dollars in South American goodwill alone. For no Latin American is in the dark about our crimes in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, there is every likelihood that even the sorely oppressed Dominicans will refuse to pay the price demanded by virtue of our superior strength for their semblance of liberty. We hope they will decline. Their experience with the United States has been bitter enough; and their love of independence should be sufficiently deep-seated to refuse to compromise."The Nation." N.

Bernard, Germany—A city of horror was raised Monday, by the independent Dan Friederlo over the Dempsey-Campier match. "Can you conceive," asks the paper, "nothing more graftly, more horrific than the bombing of bourbon in the bourbon race can be determined only by biology, possibly each other apart one of them can only live elsewhere."

That Congressional investigation of the Haiti and Santo Domingo troubles must be had. We know President Harding will see to it that our ex-service men are treated with the same consideration, in the matter of appointments and all else, that ex-service men of the other race are treated. Ex-Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia says there were fifty-eight lynchings in that state during the four years he was governor—to June 24, 21. That is a very "conservative" statement, to say the least. Nevertheless, we give him credit for making it, for it certainly takes courage for even a man of his standing in Georgia to make it. During his term of office he recommended to the Legislature of that state the enactment of a law similar to our Ohio Anti-Lynching law. The improvement of Central Ave. (new sewer, new tracks and new pavement), is being held up while the city and the street car company fight out (in the courts) who is to pay for the tearing up and relaying of tracks, etc. "Twas ever thus! If the work is not done by election day the voters of the ward will know well, long before that time, which of the two to hold responsible for the delay and "The Old Reliable" Gazette will help them to know it, too. Several weeks ago, Mr. Salem Miller, E. 81st St., this city, for years one of the best clerks in the U. S. Railway Mail Service, running out of Cleveland, one of our substantial citizenz (real estate owners) and for many years a subscriber of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, walked into our sanctum sanctorum and said: "Mr. Smith, here are two dollars for the renewal of my subscription to The Gazette for one year. My wife and I certainly enjoy reading it, every week. Two weeks from now I'll be in to pay you for two years more, making three in all." We thanked him, of course, and thought no more of it. Wednesday, of this week, he came again and kept his word. There is food for thought in this act of Mr. Miller's and we want all of our readers to get it and "pass it along." AS RUSSIA "PROGRESSED" "I stand for government ownership of the railroads and nationalization of the mines; for health insurance, old age pensions, and unemployment insurance—all progressive measures," declares John L. Lewis, of the Federation of Labor. Those policies are progressive, all right, but they progress directly towards the sort of thing that has ruined Russia. Nationalization of industries and the various phases of social insurance are merely polite names for insidious class legislation that would inevitably destroy this government if they gained the ascendency. CO-OPERATION. NOT DOMINATION In a speech at a dinner given by President Harding to bankers from the middle west, George M. Reynolds, of Chicago, took issue with views previously expressed by New York bankers concerning the funding of the European debt to the United States, and some of the newspaper writers have called his speech a "declaration of independence of Chicago banks from the domination of the New York banking interests." Well, if there is any domination, there is need for a declaration of independence. What the United States needs, not only in banking but in all sorts of business, is a spirit of co-operation. There is no place in this country for domination. Naturally, the financial center of the country will be where there is the most business of a national and international nature. Whenever Chicago or any other city attains that prestige, it will supercede New York as the financial center of the country. But wherever the financial center may be located, there is no need for "domination" in the sense of dictation. "ORDERED OUT OF TOWN" One A. B. Mock of Louisville, Ky., secured the editor of The Gazette's endorsement of a check for $10 he drew, last week Monday afternoon, on the First National Bank of that city, raised it to $20 and tried to draw that amount from the Guardian Savings & Trust Co. and would have been successful but for the care and thoughtfulness of a teller of the bank who refused to honor the emasculated check. Mock was in jail, Saturday, June 25, 1921, and "stung" Atty. Geo. A. Mundy for services in police court, that day; his fine and the costs, amounting to near $17. Last Saturday morning, The Gazette had Mock before Judge Terrell (in Police Court) who reminded Mock that that was the third time he had been before him in about three weeks. After hearing the case, in which Detective Burkhart "shined", Mock was given until July 5, 1921, last Tuesday, to get out of town. If he is seen in Cleveland, please call The Gazette Bell 'Phone, Ontario 1259. Mr. G. L. Cheatham, of the Anchor Life & Insurance Co.; Dr. Wm. P. Saunders and the teller at the bank were important witnesses in the case for "The Old Reliable" Gazette. We do not need Mock's kind in Cleveland. CARE FOR DISABLED FIRST There is a great difference of opinion as to the advisability and practicability of a Federal Soldier Bonus law, but there is nowhere any disagreement as to the desirability of prompt, adequate and generous provisions for the disabled veterans of the war. It is not only the duty but will be the high privilege of the people of the United States to provide hospital care for the sick and injured, rehabilitation for the crippled and vocational training for those not capable of making a living. All this the people of the country want done in no spirit of parsimony or reluctance, but in the most friendly and grateful manner, and they will have no patience with any officer of the government who mistreats the veterans committed to his care. The officer of a southern hospital and vocational training camp who dismissed the members of a protesting committee and who referred to them as "nuts" has no proper place in the government service. He is entirely out of touch with the spirit of the nation and should be displaced at once. It is altogether likely that some of the sick or injured soldiers are irritable, restless, and trying upon the patience of those who have charge over them. But that must be expected. They have been through war, and war is "hell." The officer who cannot handle such men has no place at the head of an institution maintained for their care and rehabilitation. DO YOU WANT A HOME? A Splendid Opportunity for All and On Easy Payments—A Golden Opportunity! I have from four to five thousand acres of unimproved and improved land. It is good for all kinds of grain and hay and excellent for fruits. We are expecting a big fruit crop in this end of the country. It is fine country for pigs and cattle. Excellent for poultry, in fact for anything a man wants to raise that will grow in the northern states. Very fine fishing and hunting. Plenty of schools and churches. The colored people that have bought from me already are highly pleased with their land and only sorry they didn't know this before. They say it is sure a free and God given opportunity for a poor man to get a home. Now this land ranges from 15 to 35 dollars per acre and all chances in the world to pay for it. $100 down, and more if you want to. Good easy payments. For further information, write S. J. Bortz, Branch, Mich.-Adv. My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. The Gazette's new 'phone number is Ontario 1259, Bell 'phone.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 9, 1921 "To Hell With It," Has Become The Slogan of the New Freedom. Writer Takes Pessimistic View of Conditions—Flays Rich and Poor Even the Churches—Says We Are Rearing Breed of Moral Weaklings. We are degenerating into a nation of side-steppers. Every one is looking for an easy job with big pay. People resent the necessity of working, and express their resentment by slacking on their jobs, or breaking and wasting like a bull in a china shop. The thing has passed beyond the big organizations of labor and become general. The laundress and housemaid, the hired man on the farm, clerks and office-boys, street-cleaners and ditch-diggers, you find the same ugly spirit everywhere. "To hell with it," is the slogan of the new freedom. This attitude of moral imbecility constitutes our chief national problem. It is idle to legislate upon a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. No legislation can change the souls of men. Improved conditions of labor; increased pay, collective bargaining; open or closed shops—none of these will amount to a hill of beans so long as men look upon their work as a hateful drudgery rather than as a privilege and a service. This side-stepping state of mind did not develop in a day or a year. It is the result of a process extending over a long time. Hosts of parents whose early life was hard have been filled with the benevolent notion that they did not want their children to have as hard a time as they did, says "Leslies." The result is a generation of young people reared in idleness; smeered over with a thin veneer of cheap social refinement, accustomed to the selfish expenditure of money which they did not earn and could not earn, ignorant of the process of toil which must lie behind every dollar in the world, and trained to side-step anything in life really hard. This selfish sentimentality on the part of parents ends in producing a breed of moral weaklings out of material as good as the world contains. Then our educational system starts the children with the notion that study is play—indeed that all life is play. It is not surprising to find that such education does not make real men and women. In the realm of labor, so called, great mass movements have resulted in general advantage to larger numbers of individuals. One of the by-products of this process has been to weaken in the individual the old-fashioned American ideal that his personal success depends upon personal effort. It is true also that the big folks have not set a very good example of moral obligation. Even the churches have helped to fix the idea that moral obligation is a myth. TO REMOVE CARBON. Common Baking Soda and Kerosene Recommended by Experts. Everyone who has had any experience with gasoline engines of any kind knows that the accumulation of carbon in cylinders, piston heads, etc., reduces the efficiency of the engine and makes trouble for the operator. Experts declare that an effective method for removing carbon is to pour into the cylinders while warm a mixture of a teaspoonful of common baking soda and a pint of kerosene. Allow the mixture to remain in over night. Then, after priming the engine with a little gasoline, start it in the usual manner. Race it a short time and then set it to work. This treatment cannot be expected to give good results where the carbon deposits have been forming for a long time. WHEN RILEY VOTED. His Effort to Aid Young Politician Was Unsuccessful James Whitecumb Riley was not greatly interested in politics, but at one particular time in his life he was anxious to vote. A young man whom Riley had long admired was running for a county office, said an old friend of Riley's. Riley was rather disappointed to see the young man enter politics, but he made up his mind that his friend needed his vote at the election. Election day found Riley an early visitor at the polis, where he spent no little time learning how to vote. The following day he earnestly told some friends about his experience, and the way he had marked his ballot. "Well, Jim," they laughed, "if that is the way you did it, you voted for the other man." Five and Ten-Cent Stores One of the corporations running a chain of these stores reported that the number of stores had increased from 865 in 1915 to 1081 in 1919, and that the annual net profit from each store had increased over $300 during the same period. Prices have been raised enough to insure profits—some "10-cent" articles are now 25 cents or more. The proprietor of a Michigan salt mine recently gave a motion-picture show at the bottom of the mine, about half mile below the surface. It was a safety-first reel and the picture was thrown against one of the white walls of the mine, which answered the purpose of a screen admirably. DISEASE KILLS BEES. Isle of Wight Disease Leave Only 22, - 500 Stocks in England and Wales. "Ile of Wight disease has wrought havoc among bees," says a writer in a London newspaper, "and there is now remaining only 32,500 stocks of bees in England and Wales. The production of honey has very seriously decreased and the fruit crops have heffered from the non-fertilization of blossoms owing to the lack of bees. Experiments in Kent and elsewhere have proved that hybrid Dutch and Italian bees possess a high measure of resistance to the disease, and the Board of Agriculture has consequently developed a scheme for the introduction of these bees, purchasing 268 skews of Dutch bees and 700 Italian queens, which it is hoped to import and distribute next year." DIM CANDLE LIGHT. How to Sait a Candle To Make It Burn Only a Tiny Flame. Sometimes when there is sickness or in other emergencies it is necessary to keep a dim light burning all night. For such a light take a short piece of an ordinary candle and allow it to burn until the top is even. Then blow out the flame and sprinkle some fine salt on the soft wax, leaving the blackened wick project up through the salt layer. Set the candle in a dish or other vessel tall neough to protect the flame from drafts and light it. A tiny, steady flame will be produced, making a dim light that will answer the purpose admirably well but will not interfere with anyone's slumber. Such a light is not only convenient but it is economical, as a short piece of salted candle will burn for many hours. "EARTH-PRESERVED" EGGS Chinese and Filipinos Regard Them As a Delicacy. Referring to a statement made by a writer in the Scientific American that China appears to be the only country in the world where eggs are matured by earth preservation, a correspondent of that journal declares that eggs that have been preserved in the warm earth are regarded as a delicacy by the Filipinos. Without cooking or other preliminary treatment they break one end of the shell and devour the contents. Americans who witnessed this gastronomic performance described it as eating "chicken on the half-shell," he says. He suggests that the Filipinos may have adopted the habit from the Chinese who went to the islands some centuries ago and whose descendants, now a mixed blood, live in the western part of Luzon. HOW INDUSTRIES CHANGE. Take Many Peculiar Twists That Are Hard To Account For. Shifting use of wood, because of fashion or custom, is illustrated by the result of a recent survey of the wood-using industries of the state of New York. In 1912 there were several cane, whip and umbrella handle manufacturers in this state; this year's survey shows not a single manufacturer of walking sticks or whips and but one of umbrella handles. And yet New York and Massachusetts until very recently supplied about 40 percent of the total product of these articles, with the most of the remainder coming from Pennsylvania. We can understand that the growth of the automobile industry has decreased the output of whips, but what of canes and umbrellas? ORIGIN OF "BUNCOMBE." Widely-Used Word Came From Name Of County in North Carolina. Buncombe county, N. C., is going to elect a woman to the legislature. This looks like another case of political "buncombe." That was the county that gave the word "buncombe" to our language. A legislator was chided for making a speech that was manifestly made up of arguments that were untrue. He replied that the speech was "intended only for Buncombe"—that is, to appease his home folks. If North Carolina had wanted to give recognition to the woman, she might have done better by giving her ratification to the suffrage amendment when it was so badly needed. Now she will have a hard time catching up with the procession. Which shows, after all, that buncombe doesn't pay. THE COSTLY COMMA. Estimated to Have Cost the Government About $2,000,000. The wrong use of a comma in a tariff bill caused a great loss of money to the Government about 50 years ago. The blunder referred to occurred in a tariff bill. In the section enumerating articles admitted free was the item, "all foreign fruit-plants, etc." The enrolling clerk made the mistake of changing the hyphen in "fruit-plants" to a comma which resulted in putting all "foreign fruit" on the free list. Fruit was allowed to come in duty-free until Congress could take up the task of rectifying the mistake, and it is estimated that the Government lost about $2,000,000. The Twining Vine. The Department of Agriculture says that most plants twine to left. Some, including hop and honeysuckle, twine to the right. This result is said to be due to a geotropic stimulus. Before the war, Austria-Hungary was one of the most important lumber-producing countries in the world. The distinction of having originated street lighting is claimed by both London and Paris, but in neither city was it developed until comparatively modern times. London claims to have lighted its streets with lanterns as early as 1414, but this claim has been disputed. At Paris, street lighting was provided for at public expense in the 16th century.

J., Tuesday, Aug. 30, to Remain Until Sept. 4th, Inclusive. The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission convention will meet, this year, in Newark, N. J., upon the invitation of Bethany Baptist church, Dr. E. R. Eicks, Pastor. This convention is one of the most unique bodies of baptists in this country in that at its meetings nothing is considered other than foreign missions. This gathering of baptists is concerned only in giving the gospel to those who have it not and in going to Newark it will not deviate from its constitutional course. It will no doubt interest the public to know that this organization has given to foreign missions more than 80 percent of all monies coming into its hands since its first session. The increase of its finance has been phenomenal, for at the last session which was the twenty-third, it raised in round numbers about forty thousand dollars. When it was organized, it began work with one missionary and his wife. Today, it has forty-one missionaries in its employment in foreign lands, including Hawaii. When it was organized, it was opened only on the Congo, Africa, but much only on the Congo, Africa, in which it operated in South America and Haiti. The slogan for this year is for at least fifty thousand dollars at the Newark meeting. It is the challenge to baptists everywhere to missionary work. Will the challenge be取对? If so, report at Newark; for the harvest truly is not only hard. Yet the laborers here at home are few. Yet compared as to numbers and opportunities. The Lott Carey Convention is also an answer to prayer and a challenge to our churches here in America. The above quotation has been prayed too many times and the churches have thought that the laborers were altogether too few, but today there are about forty applications upon the waiting list of our convention for services in foreign lands. Many of these would be accepted and employed, but for the need of increased offerings so as to pay them for service. Will we this condition exist? Let those who can help exist the solution of every human problem join in with us in sending the gospel of Christ into the neglected portions of the world which alone can solve every question. Meet the Lott Carey Convention in Newark and study its method of work and spirit and help the work of the Kingdom on from conquest to conquest.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any condition or condition imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

Win Twice in Two Days Berea, O.—Fear's Giants of Cleveland again defeated the Berea Athletic Club, Monday afternoon, 11 to 10. The Berea players came from behind in the seventh and eighth innings with one run to the good, but the Clevelanders see two runs across the ninth and the Berea players went down in order in their half. The "Fears" won the Sunday game, too, as indicated above. Arthur Brisbane, the well known "national" newspaper correspondent and writer, who was at the ringside during the Carpenter-Dempsey fight, last Saturday, had the following in a local daily paper. Tuesday: same local lating at 1 l fighters in Dempsey for ponship of jessing Jess to old, be Gibbons who light and Georges Cape in beat four knocked out to the jaw says: "Meanwhi is the omino biggest and ored challenge in some cir "For many prudent reasons no one would wish to hurt the feelings of a prize-fighting champion. But enthusiasts are advised not to bet too violently on Dempsey if he ever meets a good man about his own weight. "Little Arthur" Johnson, now language in a federal prison, could have disposed of Dempsey easily in his good fighting days. And if Fitzsimmons had been in the ring with him on Saturday, in that second and that round would have seen Dempsey out, probably to stay out for half an hour, and Fitzsimmons leaning over the ropes, smiling and showing the gold and diamond fillings in his teeth." Benamjin Karr, an editorial writer on the same local daily paper, had the following in its Tuesday's edition: "Color Linen." Now if "Jack" Dempsey has the courage and the good sense of a real world's champion he will have nothing to do with any drawing of a "beach line" which is a favorite device for avoiding the risk run by white pugilists who meet colored fighters in the ring. It is absurd to say that a white bpxer loses caste or in any way lowers himself when he battles with a black man for the championship of the country or the world. There is nothing so fastidious in the nature of prize fighting that it cannot endure a little contact of races. In Dempsey's case the most formidable challenger in prospect is Harry Wills, a Negro. Dempsey has seen that big and powerful boxer show his paces in the ring, and if he "draws the color line" against Wills a great number of devotees of pugilism will say that he is afraid to take his chances with such an antagonist. No "champ" can long be very popular who is suspected of dodging any aspirant to his title. Joe Williams, a sport writer in the At the Bellevue Hotel, 2578 E. 40th St., under management of B. A.

YOU KNOW WHY - - - So ma TELL ON- ARRY IS THAT THE FATHER WHO WANTS TO HARRY SIST? CEE PA IT LOOKS ALLMOST HUMAN same local daily paper after speculating at length, Monday, on the fighters in line to contest with Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship of the world, and after eliminating Jess Willard because "he is too old, being forty," and Tommy Gibbons whom he regards as being too light and only a fair match for Georges Carpentier in the Dempsey beat in four rounds after being neatly knocked out in the second by a blow the jaw that Georges gave him, says: "Meaurally while running in the distance is the continuous shadow of Harry Wills, biggest and most capable of the colored challengers. There is a feeling in some circles that Wills is the most formidable heavyweight in the world. This, of course, remains to be proved. A match between Wills and Dempsey seems inevitable." Jack Johnson, who is at liberty again, the greatest champion of all time were it not for that alleged "selling out" to Jess Willard at Havana, Cuba, could even now give Dempsey a "lacing" that would make that Carpenter received look like a "pleasure party" in comparison. One thing说,if the present champion ever meets Harry Wills, Dempsey will not know for some minutes after the fight that he has been in one when the "big boy" (Harry) gets through with him. Tate Stars have been having "some time" in the last three weeks. The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s trimmed them in three successive games, week before last. Then the Tates won from the "Tellings" and "Douglass Tailors," local "sand-lot" teams (white), but good ones. Along came Rube Foster's Chicago Giants, last week, and literally "ate up" the Tates—won all three games. Sunday, the latter won from the Dayton Marcos, 9 to 6, in what the local daily press characterized as "a poorly played contest." Monday, the Marcos battered three Tate pitchers, Brady, Henderson and their ace, Branahan, for six extra base-hits in the seventh "stanza," and won 12 to 9. Brady left the game in that inning. Tuesday, the Tate Stars simply massacred the Marcos. Score, 31 to 11, in a slug-fest. They made thirty-one hits, thirteen of them for extra bases. Right Fielder Miles of the Tates was the star hitter, getting three two-baggers and three singles in seven times at bat. Pitcher Taylor made a double and four singles in six times at bat. Going some, eh? Wednesday's game, the last of the series with the Marcos, was won by them. Score, 3 to 2.

SOUR STOMACH INDIGESTION Thedford's Black-Draught Highly Recommended by a Tennessee Grocer for Troubles Resulting from Torpid East Nashville, Tenn. — The efficiency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, is vounded for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. "It is without doubt the best liver medicine, and I don't believe I could get along without it. I take it for sour stomach, headache, bad liver, indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of a torpid liver. "I have known and used it for years, and can and do highly recommend it to every one. I won't go to bed without it in the house. It will do all it claims to do. I can't say enough for it." Many other men and women throughout the country have found Black-Draught just as Mr Parsons describes —valuable in regulating the liver to its normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities.

HELP! A STRANGE MAN! HOW DARE YOU ENTER THIS HOUSE YOU REPROBATE! I DON'T KNOW IS IT? JOHN! IS IT REALLY YOU? (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—All lovers of justice and law regret the passing from office of Gov. Dorsey. He performed a great task for the state. He had to tell the truth though it revealed the decadent putrefying condition of the state of which he was governor. He was courageous and manly! The law of Georgia had been lynched and violence and mob rule had taken its place. The courts of Georgia had broken down. The jury system was corrupted with the vicious Ku Klux Klan oaths. White men could do whatever they pleased and had very little to fear so far as punishment was concerned. Gov. Dorsey did not tell all of Georgia's crimes. He has simply intimated what may be found under a fair legal investigation. He is hated and abused by all the political nondescripts and thugs in the army. Already testimony has to discredit his exposure of the rottenness of the law and its execution. The Governor can have the approval of God and his conscience that he did his duty fearlessly and began a crusade that will ultimately free Georgia from the "jail-birds" that now govern it. The successor to Gov. Dorsey in Georgia is not to be believed in his oath in matters pertaining to colored people and their rights, it seems. His career in Congress was vicious and shameful (to our people). He did all that a prejudiced southerner could do to make intolerable the life of Negroes in this country. Every time he opened his mouth on matters touching them it was to abuse and encourage robbing them of American liberty. The depths to which Georgia has fallen are reflected in its electing governor, man like Hardwick. He is a friend of every peonage and law-breaking THE "PRINTER'S DEVIL." The Original Was a Slave Owned by Aldus Manctius, Venetian Printer. "Anyone who has seen a printer's apprentice—grimy, disheveled and splotched with ink, might well think that the term 'printer's devil,' rose from the fact that these youngsters appear to have the faculty of looking like they had just emerged from the bottomless pit. But there was once a real 'printer's devil'—or at least he admitted the fact in the presence of a number of witnesses. Aldus Manutius, the celebrated Venetian printer and publisher who lived during the latter part of the fifteenth and the early part of the sixteenth century, had a small black slave whom the superstitious believed to be an emissary of Satan. This belief grew so strong that the slave found it was to his interest to foster it in order to secure favors and license of various kinds. Finally, to offset the rumor and to satisfy the curious, the printer publicly announced in church: "I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy Church, have this day made public exposure of the printer's devil. All who think he is not flesh and blood, are invited to step up and pinch him." History does not relate whether the congregation took advantage of the offer, but the term "printer's devil", caught the popular fancy of the Venetians, and from Venice spread over a great part of the world. ANCIENT QUEEN'S JOKE. A Good One; Even If It Did Take 5000 Years To Spring It. A British Egyptologist relates that while an exploring party was seeking an opening by which to enter a queen's pyramid in Egypt a door was discovered on a rock face. This was so skillfully fitted that the joints were scarcely discernible. Thinking that at last the entrance sought had been found; the men set to work to get the door open. After a lot of hard work they finally got it out but were amazed to find instead of the passage-way they expected a wall of solid rock. The neatly made and exactly fitted door, the Egyptologist concluded, was nothing more or less than a cleverly arranged blind to fool inquisitive persons looking for the entrance to the royal tombs. The joke was planned and the door set about 3000 years before the Christian era; 5000 years later the joke was sprung as evidently planned. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C.

(93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282.

"argument should stamp out lynching air name of America."" "be the law. You cannot give one the same right to the black man."" "the good sense to know this truth." What President Harding Said to Our People, Last Fall. "I am for democracy in its fullness." "I am for democracy in its unfairness. "I shall be glad to see as many Republicans as I am physically able to see; all Republicans look alike to me." "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America." "I believe in equality before the law. You cannot give one right to the white man and deny the same right to the black man." "The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has met the test and that he did not and will not fail America. I proclaim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro." "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." "If I have anything to do with it, there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unlawful violence whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own hands, can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans. Fear not." Here, upon this beloved soil you shall have justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people, by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God, have earned it, and America will bestow it." white farmer in Georgia. All persons convicted of peonage in the state under state laws may expect an immediate reprieve. It is not too much to expect that he is above joining in with lynchers to lynch any decent colored man in Georgia. No colored man, however honest and honorable, is safe in that state if a "cracker" desires what he has. No colored man is safe there if he stands out for freedom and justice for his race. Under Hardwick Georgia is expected to descend to the very lowest depths in its treatment of our people. Under him, if he carries out his previous record, colored people may expect any thing but life and safety. The clock of civilization has been stopped and its removed and now under Hardwick the imps of oppression may do their worst. Even Gov. Dorsey is not safe! He may have to escape for his life to another clime where those in authority protect men in their honest opinion and legal rights. Remember Leo. Frank and the governor who fought for him. Hardwick's administration of affairs in Georgia augurs ill for law and order. The best thing our people can do is to leave the state to Hardwick and his coworkers who can respect colored men who can take arrangements to do so as soon as possible. Farm hands and ordinary laborers should seek employment elsewhere. So long as our people remain in Georgia so long will semi-civilized whites keep up their barbarians. Every southern state that elects governors of the type of Hardwick should be made to understand that colored people will leave the state. If the Negro cannot get liberty in the South he is duty bound, if he has the instincts of a MAN, to leave Hardwick and his peonage defending administration! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Here He Bobs Up Again With His Old-Time Tongue-Twister. Theophilus Thistle, a successful thistle sifter, in sitting a sieveful of unsified thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb; now, if Theophilus Thistle, a successful thistle sifter, in sitting a sieveful of unsified thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb see that thou, in sitting a sieveful of unsified thistles, thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb. The above is an old-time tongue-twister, to be sure, but we are confident that it will floor most of our readers who try to say it fast. If you get through it successfully or if you tire of it try these which have lately been revived: "Good-morning, madam," to Eve said Adam. "Good-morning, sir, to him said she.

The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching. By mob trying to lynch another. Costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284.

An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6237. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the prisoner came, unless the contributor contributes the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12). OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the nape process, shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for you? Drawn for this p HOW DARE YOU ENTER THIS HOUSE YOU REPROBATE! them what they should and must do for themselves, under it in the courts. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
